Three Books of Occult Philosophy

Classic

ExcExcellent / highly recommended academic work. Ceremonial mgic is a practical work - the writer gives an academic account and starts by rendering an historic background thereby setting the background and allowing the reader to understand the setting. The occult is a difficult subject but once you grapple with it, enrmous rewards can be gained. Happy study.

Great book, it was exactly what I expected. An essential occult text in my unqualified opinion.

The typeface was much bigger than I was expecting- it’s at least 9, if not size 10 font, making the text much easier to read. This book is a must in terms of understanding the foundational concepts of western occult philosophy and praxis.

Great read. A must for serious occultist. Old English wording takes some getting use to but its worth it ..

Great knowledge easily absorbed 👍

love the book very interesting.

I purchased this text years ago, stumbling through the awkward translation and difficult-to-read print until an excellent revitalized translation was released a year or two ago by Eric Purdue. It opens up and illuminates the content in a way that this fails to do. The newer translation is a bit pricy, but it is well worth it if you are interested in absorbing this material.

Interesting read. It provides a lot of background for many of the ideas and practices you see discussed in the modern occult field. Eloquently written and connects complicated and abstract ideas rather well. Highly recommend for anyone interested in the history of the occult.

Difficult to read. Has alot of archaic language and is missing the feel of magic being brought through the book. It is an okay reference guide for someone interested in researching but a bit much for a DIY magic user.

Another important occult book to own. I find this book gets regurgitated in almost every other occult book I've ever read. At least some aspects of it. Most occult writers have owned or read this book. It definitely had a large influence on a lot of writers. I am happy with this purchase. (soft cover version)

If you're serious and care about the clarity of information I highly recommend spending the extra money and purchasing the 2021 translation by Eric Purdue.
